Pros and cons

Okay, so we’re officially in our new apartment, but not officially checked out of our old apartment! I have to agree with Kory when he says: "I just want to be done with that apartment."  Our landlords are Nazi’s, I swear.  They haven’t scored a lot of brownie points with us (and many other tenants), but when they kick our friends out of their office for asking a simple, valid question about cleaning, that is going to far.  Now, every time I see our landlords, I try to give them evil looks.  Seriously, they are horrible!

I was thinking this morning that I would make a list of Pro’s and Con’s about both apartments.  It might make me feel better about moving out of our old one.  Even though the landlords are dumb, I loved that apartment and Kory finally admitted last night that it was nostalgic and kind of sad.  I’ve been sad about it for a long time. So, here’s the list.

OLD APARTMENT (1 bedroom apartment)

PRO’S

– HUGE bedroom

– lots of closet space in the bedroom

-huge storage closet in the hallway

– huge living room

– tons of cupboards in the kitchen

– great neighbors and church ward

CON’S

– no dishwasher

– coin-op laundry

– old, bumpy carpet

– THIRD FLOOR

– A/C didn’t function very well

– good water pressure was a hit and miss!

 

NEW APARTMENT (2 bedrooms)

PRO’S

– 2 bedrooms

– HUGE kitchen

– pantry shelves in kitchen

– hardwood floor in kitchen

– nice carpet

– good water pressure

– big bathroom

– DISHWASHER!!!!!

– access to a washer & dryer (shared with my cousin who lives upstairs)

– central air

– big living room

CON’S

– small master bedroom

– small closet in master bedroom (Kory uses the closet in the spare bedroom)

– not much space for storage

– low ceilings

– small windows

 

So, there you have it.  I think storage space is what is still bothering me.  i loved being able to hide all our junk in the hall closet at our old place and now we don’t really have a spot.  We have two utility closets, but technically it’s illegal to store stuff in them.  My cousin is a lawyer, though and he said he didn’t care if we put stuff in there.  Plus there are rafters in the garage we can use as well, but it’s currently locked while my cousin and his family are out of town.  Oh well, we’re getting put together, slowly but surely.

Take care, all!

Love,

Me
